Participatory Event

The Wirral Bikeathon is a charity bike ride which raises funds for Bloodwise www.bloodwise.org.uk (formerly Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research). It is the largest charity supporting patients suffering from blood cancers and those caring for them by funding research and providing information and advice. Last year more than 1000 riders – young and old – raised over £42,000 bringing the total donated to the charity in the last 18 years to more than £880,000. This year will be their 19th event, please help them to achieve their aim to reach the £1 million mark by 2019!

The Wirral Bikeathon which will be held on Sunday 10th June 2018 is designed as a family event. There are two routes around Wirral, a shorter one of 15 miles taking in West Kirby and Hoylake, and a second one that extends the distance to 28 miles and takes in Thornton Hough. Light refreshments are available on these routes and in Arrowe Country Park at the start, midpoint and finish where there will be musical entertainment. Local bike shops provide emergency repairs in Arrowe Park as well as on the shorter route. All entrants are given a T-shirt and those that finish are rewarded with a medal. Everyone taking part is encouraged to collect sponsorship money (the entrance fee only covers costs). Sponsorship can be set up easily via the Bikeathon website. The website also provides all the information riders need to know such as how to enter, the detailed route, age restrictions, fitness levels etc.

This is a great way to enjoy a family day out while at the same time raising money for Bloodwise. For more info and to register for the event go to www.wirralbikeathon.com/.
